Product Description

The Hercules Hook is the easiest way to hang pictures, mirrors, shelves just about anything. Easy to install just twist, push and turn! No more drilling or pounding to try to find a stud - No more damaged walls! The reinforced steel design provides the muscle to hang and hold up to 150 lbs. Great for plaster, drywall or paneling. Twist, Push, Turn. Pick a point on the wall where you want the bottom of the hook to sit. Then, measure ¼" directly above that point and set the tip there.Next, with firm forward pressure, twist the hook back and forth (like a key) until you have chiseled through the wall. Now turn the hook upward and push completely into the wall until only the hook is exposed.

5.0 out of 5 stars They really DO work, but look around for the knockoff brands, November 1, 2006

I picked up a dozen in Home Depot for less than $5. Same concept, just a lot cheaper!

Two of them are holding a huge heavy shelf in my kitchen. The hole they make depends upon the weight of what they're holding. I'm sure it's pinhole sized if you're hanging something that weighs a few ounces (in which case, you don't need this - use a pushpin!)

The holes from the shelf are bigger than pin-sized, but it IS a heavy shelf. The hole is still WAY smaller than the hole I'd make using any kind of a hook that would hold such a heavy shelf.

It also takes a little practice to figure out where to hang the hooks (the drop of the hook is below where you might want the thing to actually hang.) This is a small detail, but if you need two of these things and you don't do it right, your object is gonna be crooked. But on the bright side, you won't have a huge hole to patch when you redo it!

Recommended product (but look around for the knockoffs.)

5.0 out of 5 stars They really do work!!, August 9, 2006

mom of 3 great kids (Spring Hill, TN) - See all my reviews

These hooks are incredible!! I have used them throughout my home to hang heavy art work and mirrors, and the best part is that I can do it myself without waiting for my husband to get out his drill, hammer, leveler, etc. I love them so much we have given them as house warming gifts, and everyone that has received them from us has been as amazed as we are by how effective and easy they are to use! If you want a secure and quick way to hang anything on your walls without making a huge hole use these hooks!

5.0 out of 5 stars Where Have These Been All My Life!, September 7, 2006

By 

70's Girl "Born to Talk" (Far From My Hometown) - See all my reviews

These Hercules Hooks are absolutely incredible. I wish I had them before my husband put many, many holes in our walls with anchors and screws. If I want to relocate anything, he tries to patch up the hole, but it always shows. These hooks make only a pin sized hole! I hung a shelf unit in my bathroom and put books on it. It is still there.

Incredible product and well worth the price!
